Rationale

EPAS requires that: Safety Issue shall be
addressed by the Member States on their State Safety Programmes.

This will include as a minimum agreeing a set of actions and
measuring their effectiveness. EPAS
requires that Member States will develop a safety leaflet to inform general
aviation pilots on the risks involved in transporting dangerous goods.

Outcomes

The most serious effects of fire, smoke and fumes, caused by undeclared and undetected lithium batteries carried in freight, are mitigated

Actions

Take action where the CAA can best mitigate risks
from fire, smoke and fumes. Our analysis has told us that the highest
risk is from undeclared and undetected lithium batteries being carried in
freight. Our action will build on work we have already done with the Department
for Transport and Rapiscan Systems to provide a global
capability in lithium battery detection.
